Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

It is so nice to see Loch Ness being used again for the different boating craft and the new season started just before Easter. Now that we have had the large Douglas Fir trees cut down at the front of the house we can see right down to the water and have a grand view of the boats going by. The colourful 'Fingal' barge above carries enthusiastic passengers of all ages on activity holidays and is loaded with bicycles and canoes for those who enjoy a challenge. We feel worn out just watching it go by !

The cruisers are being hired again from Inverness and Easter Friday was very busy on the water with a few large private cruisers and yachts joining in the fun. Amidst all this pleasure the working trawlers still have to use the loch for business although it must be more enjoyable on a calm, clear day.
